Since the OEM have an L and R spring, I figured the after market should as well, since the springs have to carry a different amount of weight.
When I talked to National Springs a few years back, they wanted the overall weight of the rig, front/rear and left/right weight distribution, to build me a set of springs that would carry the weight, flex on the trail, keep a nice ride, and would lift the rear 4". They also wanted about $600 for the set, which is why I still don't have them(built my own for the meantime). I figured that wanting the various weight distribution was an industry standard, so you would get a properely built spring.
More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

Well, either way.. it's still tilting to the Driver side. I doubt this problem will go away. I'm tired of allpro. Alcan or whatever you guys say? Might try them out. I'm tired of rubbish for QC.
K.I.T. Keep It TOYOTA!!!! lol. what my dad told me.

IT'S LEVEL!!! This morning I went out to get something out of my truck and looked at it from the rear...again...and noticed it's level now!!! I got the measuring tape out and it's within 1/8" between sides and I have a 1/4 tank of gas, so with a full tank it'll be perfectly level. NO idea how or why it leveled out. Guess it had a good night sleep last night. lol. Now i'm happy!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> WOO HOOO. now to see if it stays level.

As I mentioned, mine will lean to one side or another on any given day (stok rears up front, Alcans in back), even did it with my old NWOR springs. I gave up worrying about it, it averages out to level over the period of a week <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
